#vted Reads : Innovative Education in VT

#vted Reads is a podcast by, for and with Vermont educators, discussing books for professional development and use in the classroom.

Host Jeanie Phillips sits down with an educator, student or author each episode and together, they look at a book they feel is relevant for Vermont learners. Whether it’s YA, popular press or professional development — all of them make for some great reads.
